Tall women humblebragging about being seen as badass Amazonian goddesses striking fear and awe into boardrooms, and short women humblebragging about being seen as feminine waifs.

For the duration of the ad, the intersectional matrix of oppression given new weightings - overlooked by a barman on a busy night, a black woman asks "is it because I'm short?"

I don't think this is "bias". Height is an indication of genitic health. Same goes for weight - being fat is unhealthy.
